Chapter 70: The Truth of the Play (4)

Suddenly, Meng Xiyue left happily with a few sets of clothes.

Zhulu Haosheng sent her out, and when she walked out of the courtyard gate, she turned back.

"What's wrong with Miss? So good to Miss Moon. Zhu Qing didn't know the importance of Zhu Lu as well, and asked softly.

Zhulu came back just in time to hear it, and couldn't help but glance at her and motioned her not to talk too much.

Meng Xilan looked at the sky outside and said lightly: "She knelt down and begged me like that, how could I not help." ”

Oh, it turns out that the young lady is soft-hearted.

Zhulu lowered her head and continued to pack the box, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Then the young lady really plans to let her enter the palace?" ”

It's okay for her sisters to help, but with Meng Xiyue's identity that can't be on the stage, how can she enter the palace?

Meng Xilan curled the corners of her mouth and almost laughed: "How is it possible, I am coaxing her to play." ”

Wouldn't letting her enter the palace at this time make a joke for the Meng family and block herself?

She coaxed her, just to make her feel fluttering and defenseless.

Zhu Lu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Seeing that the sky outside had darkened, Meng Xilan stood up and said, "I want to go to Erniang to sit there." ”

Meng Xiyue acted in such a good show in front of her, and she should also go and inform Erniang.

There was still some work left before dinner, Feng Shi half leaned on the bedside and flipped through the account book, the more he looked at it, the more upset he became, and he couldn't help frowning, looking displeased.

A few days ago, the old lady was unwell, so she took care of the household for a few days. This was originally an opportunity, who knows, the big house and the second room deliberately did not let her have a good time, and changed the law all day long to embarrass her, and it took money to find a name every once in a while, but after half a month, the use of the family, not only did not decrease, but it was nearly 100 taels more than last month.

Feng Shi was upset about this, although she was not the only one who spent the money, but the errand of managing the money was hers.

Feng wanted to give the old lady an impression of being shrewd and capable, but it seemed that this time it would not work out.

"Madam, Miss Lan is here."

As soon as the maid's announcement fell, Meng Xilan raised her feet and entered the house.

Meng Xilan took the initiative to come over to visit, which made Feng slightly surprised, and hurriedly closed the account book, sat up and said, "My son, don't you have a good rest, what are you doing here?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Listening to this, Erniang doesn't like me coming." ”

Feng Shi waved his hand again and again: "I'm afraid that you will be tired." You came to see me, and I couldn't rejoice more than I could. ”

"How tired can I be after walking a few steps, I'm not a paper person." Meng Xilan didn't wait for her to say hello, so she sat down directly next to her bed, and said very closely: "I'm going back to the palace tomorrow, so I'm thinking about saying a few thoughtful words to Erniang." ”

Feng Shi was flattered, nodded hurriedly, and let the jade serve tea and snacks.

Meng Xilan took a sip of tea unhurriedly, swept her eyes slightly, saw the account book on the table, and asked, "Erniang is settling accounts?" ”

Feng Shi let out an "um" and only pushed the ledger to the side, as if he didn't want her to worry about these trivial matters.

"This month, the old lady asked me to be the housekeeper."

Meng Xilan's heart moved when she heard this: "Oh, that's just right, I just want to discuss something with Erniang." ”

Feng Shi looked at her, and then said, "The matter of silver? Then you name a number, and Erniang will definitely make it up for you. ”

She didn't think much about it in her heart, but she felt that Meng Xilan couldn't be short of silver in her hands in the palace.

Meng Xilan smiled faintly: "Erniang, I am not short of silver, everything in the palace is according to the rules, and there are rewards every month, so it is enough." I want to talk about Xiyue, wondering if I can ask Erniang to buy her something. ”

Feng Shi looked puzzled: "Why did you suddenly mention her?" ”

Meng Xilan lowered her head, and stopped talking: "Sister Xiyue came to see me...... I cried very sadly, so I ......"

When Feng Shi heard this, his heart suddenly became worried.

Could it be that Meng Xiyue went to her to complain?

Meng Xilan gently took Feng's arm and continued: "My sister is also pitiful, she said that she will be in time next year, and she wants to go out to socialize, so she wants to buy some new clothes and new jewelry. I originally wanted to buy it for her personally, but I'm going back to the palace tomorrow, so ...... I have to bother you. ”

She observed Feng's expression as she spoke, she was really a little unhappy, but in front of herself, it was not easy to show it.

"Xiyue, this kid is really ...... Why are you running to talk to you about these trivial things? I don't know, I thought I usually treated her badly. ”

Hey, Meng Xiyue, this girl is yin enough, she has something to say to herself, and she went to Meng Xilan's front behind her back and pretended to be pitiful, didn't she deliberately slap her in the face?

Meng Xilan hurriedly smiled and held her hand: "How could it be." Erniang has always done her best to manage family affairs, and Lan'er understands it. Speaking of which, this is all a trivial matter, but my sister is thin-skinned and anxious, so it's not easy to come and say it clearly. ”

Feng sneered in his heart.

She is thin-skinned, but she is obviously very thick. It's a shame that she can really go out, but she cries and cries for this little thing, it's really useless, and her biological mother and aunt are as useless.

"In the end, I was raised by my aunt, and I don't know what to do. It's hard for you to come back, and you have to worry about her. Speaking of which, Erniang is not short of her, or she is not satisfied. Feng said. I thought to myself, I have to treat that girl well when I go back.

"Erniang, is the money in the family still rich?" Meng Xilan asked habitually.

Feng sighed lightly: "It's not rich, but it's not so tight. Recently, there has been a lot of money in the house, so I have to be careful. As the saying goes, if you don't know the price of firewood and rice. You also know that your eldest uncle and second uncle are both people who work hard to feed the family, and they can't earn money, but they spend more than anyone else. The lord has so much money every year, and it is not enough to just stick to our room, and we have to supplement them everywhere. Alas...... If I don't pay more attention, it won't take ten years, and this bit of family money will be emptied. ”

As soon as he mentioned the money, Feng's heart was in a panic.

The Meng family has a solid background, and their ancestors left a lot of land, and their lives are quite nourishing. It's just that the big house and the second room have been doing nothing, they don't make money, they only spend money, it's just like "locusts", which is disgusting.

The more Feng Shi spoke, the more angry she became, and Cuiyu beside her had to kindly remind her, saying, "Madame drink tea first, otherwise the tea will be cold when you wait." ”

Feng Shi only then realized that he was talking too much. "Look at me, so decent, why are you talking to you about this, it's annoying you."

Meng Xilan shook her head: "No, I know Erniang's hard work." You can just watch and do the moon. ”

When she said this, it was clear that she was handing over Meng Xiyue to Feng's cooking, and she would not interfere too much.

Feng immediately agreed: "Well, Erniang will look at the matter of Xiyue, so don't worry about it." ”
